Hijra: Fallacy or Reality (Paperback)
Ibn Al Araby said: "The Scholars of Islam have divided travelling through the land into two types: Fleeing and Seeking. The first type, Fleeing, is divided into six categories:1.Fleeing from the lands that are at war (with the Muslims) to the lands of Islam, and this form of Hijra continues until the Day of Judgment.2.Fleeing from the lands of innovation...3.Fleeing from a land in which impermissible things have become prevalent, because seeking that which is lawful is an obligation upon every Muslim.4.Fleeing from bodily harm...5.Fleeing from a land in which the environment is unhealthy, polluted, or harmful to an environment that is healthy and clean....6.Fleeing from financial harm for indeed the wealth of a Muslim is just as sacred as his blood.
